Can we get an update on cheating?
In the aftermath of the videos showing how easy it is to cheat in this game, it would be reassuring to have some kind of update from CG. What is being done? Is it working at all? Community confiden...

@CG_Erik please say something to restore my confidence after the cheating being brought to light. I have spent $9k on swgoh because it is an enjoyable hobby for me. This new information makes me uneasy.
Seconded. Probably slightly less money spent, but same problem here : I’m starting to lose my trust.
It seems like they have had this information and don't want to address it head on. and obviously with the closing of forum threads, they don't want us discussing it. which makes it even shadier
The issue with the discussion on cheating is that it is against the Forum Guidelines and generally leads to people asking how to cheat, which is not a door we want open. Literally all the threads closed had that questions asked in the first 5 posts. (There were 3 that have been closed so far.).
Closing the threads has nothing to do with CGs response to this, just the Forum Guidelines.
They have stated they have implemented new tools to investigate cheating and there is no way to stop someone from trying to alter local code. The tools are new and still require investigations into the activities and a human being involved.
We have seen in the past that they will deal with things like this in waves and I can assure you we have seen some of this in action.
I have seen people kicked from the game for cheating (credit card fraud) but within a few months their account is back on the arena shard and run by someone else. In my opinion, these accounts should have been banned and deleted not just the player blocked, obviously they were able to either pass or sell their account to someone else. Therefore, the account with unlawfully gained mods and gear is still being used but just not by the person that originally had it. It's not the same cheating that seems to be going on at the moment but it is another reason my confidence in the game is disappearing.
I for one, don't want to cheat, so am glad there is no reference on how to available on the forums.
